Abstract

Enhancing EFL Vocabulary Mastery via Wordwall.net: A Mixed-Methods Study on Achievement and Student Challenges. Objective: This study explores Wordwall.net, an online learning platform, to enhance students' English vocabulary and identify the challenges they encounter. Methods: This study employed a mixed-methods approach, involving twenty-five students from the Grade X Pharmacy Department at SMK YPKK 1 Sleman. The study aimed to gather quantitative data (pre-tests and post-tests) to measure vocabulary mastery, including spelling dictation, word translation, and collocation in sentences. Meanwhile, semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather qualitative data on the challenges of using the platform from six students, using purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using Miles & Huberman's interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings: The results show a significant improvement in vocabulary mastery, with the average score increasing from 55.76 in the pre-test to 87 in the post-test. Moreover, Wordwall.net has the potential to enhance vocabulary and student engagement. However, students encountered challenges, including competitive pressure and unstable internet connections. Conclusion: These findings have significant implications for language teachers, school administrators, and curriculum developers, underscoring the importance of effectively integrating digital platforms. Additionally, policymakers should consider enhancing digital infrastructure in schools to ensure equitable access to online learning resources. The findings suggest that classroom teachers can effectively integrate Wordwall.net to enhance vocabulary mastery, boost motivation, and make learning more engaging. For institutions, this highlights the importance of providing digital infrastructure and training teachers in using web-based platforms. School administrators and policymakers should also support equitable access to reliable internet to ensure consistent learning outcomes. Keywords: challenge, vocabulary mastery, word wall, web-based learning.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has transformed language learning practices, for instance, the use of DeepL translation tools for machine translation. It plays a growing role in facilitating comprehension, vocabulary development, and academic literacy among EFL learners. This study provides empirical evidence of how DeepL shapes students’ learning efficiency and translation strategies. This mixed-methods study explores the perceptions and challenges of 27 fourth-year English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) students at Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta regarding DeepL as a translation tool in their language learning. Employing questionnaires and semi-structured interviews for data collection, the research gathered both quantitative and qualitative data. The questionnaire explored students' overall perceptions, while interviews delved into the specific challenges encountered by six selected students, using a purposive sampling technique across varying proficiency levels: two students with high proficiency, two students with medium proficiency, and two students with low proficiency, as indicated by the analyzed questionnaire scores. Furthermore, the researchers analyzed the questionnaire results through data checking, coding categories, and compared them across the highest, middle, and lowest categories, analyzing the results descriptively. Meanwhile, for the semi-structured interview, the results were analyzed using an interactive model, comprising data collection, data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. Findings indicate positive student perceptions. Quantitative analysis of questionnaire data revealed overwhelmingly positive perceptions, with 81.5% and 66.7% of students showing high agreement on key positive statements about DeepL's utility. However, the qualitative data reveal that all interviewed students face challenges, particularly the time-consuming process of double-checking translations due to the uncertainty of meaning. This study highlights DeepL's significant role in facilitating language learning while also underscoring the need for students to develop critical evaluation skills.

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis on political speech of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), the former president of Indonesia at the Indonesian conference on “Moving towards sustainability: together we must create the future we want”. Ideologies are closely linked to power and language because using language is the commonest form of social behavior, and the form of social behavior where we rely most on ‘common-sense’ assumptions. The objectives of this study are to discuss the common sense assumption and ideology by means of language use in SBY’s political speech which is mainly grounded in Norman Fairclough’s theory of language and power in critical discourse analysis. There are two main problems of analysis, namely; first, what are the common sense assumption and ideology in Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s political speech; and second, how do they relate to each other in the political discourse? The data used in this study was in the form of written text on “moving towards sustainability: together we must create the future we want”. A qualitative descriptive analysis was employed to analyze the common sense assumption and ideology in the written text of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s political speech which was delivered at Riocto entro Convention Center, Rio de Janeiro on June 20, 2012. One dimension of ‘common sense’ is the meaning of words. The results showed that the common sense assumption and ideology conveyed through SBY’s specific words or expressions can significantly explain how political discourse is constructed and affected by the SBY’s rule and position, life experience, and power relations. He used language as a powerful social tool to present his common sense assumption and ideology to convince his audiences and fellow citizens that the future of sustainability has been an important agenda for all people.  Keywords: Political speech, common sense, assumption, ideology, sustainability, growth.

Abstract

Language plays an important role in human life as a medium of communication. The communication between sender and receiver is the activity of conveying ideas, messages, attitude, and mood of both speakers and hearers. This paper attempts to analyze cooperative principle (CP) and politeness principle (PP) in guest complaining at x hotel in Kuta-Bali through a series of conversation at the front desk. The data were gathered from guest’s conversation record book from one of the hotels in Kuta-Bali. The conversations have been transcribed into a written text. The intended data were identified, classified, and then separately analyzed based on cooperative and politeness principle. A qualitative descriptive analysis was employed to analyze CP and PP in the guest complaining as in line with the theories which are proposed by Grice and Leech. The results of analysis show that the receptionist carefully observed both CP and PP, but the guest’s responses might not necessarily comply with those principles for some reasons.  Keywords: Cooperative principle, maxim, speech acts, politeness principle, pragmatics.

Abstract

This present study aims to explore the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ perceptions of implementing the Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and their strategies in their English online learning and teaching during the COVID-19 outbreak. A qualitative descriptive design was applied for the present study. Five EFL teachers (1 male and 4 females) from SMKN 1 Seyegan, Yogyakarta were involved in the data gathering process. The data were obtained from a semi-structured interview conducted face to face, and the data were analyzed descriptively. The findings of the present study revealed that teachers' perceptions of implementing HOTS in English online learning and teaching during the COVID-19 outbreak were varied among them. Furthermore, three respondents: Mr. S, Mrs. ECU, and Mrs. IL found it hard to fully implement HOTS in their online learning and teaching due to several factors such as students' low level of English knowledge, the nature of the topic delivered, and digital literacy. The findings also revealed that there are four strategies applied by the EFL teachers in conducting HOTS during their English online learning, they are through the activities of 1) reading a text; 2) watching videos; 3) creating the learning products, and 4) stimulating questions.
